Spirited Conversations - Wednesday 26 October
Multicultural Youth Nelson Tasman (MYNTies) speaking on
That's MYNT!
Do young people see things differently? Meet the MYNTies, a group of young people aged 14 - 21 living in the Nelson-Tasman region. Some are new arrivals; others have been here much longer. They come from all corners of the globe, speak many different languages and represent a wide range of cultures.
The MYNTies will talk about their mission to empower young people through the projects they've set up, sharing their passion for achieving acceptance for all, and unity in diversity. Come and discuss, eat, drink, listen, question and comment.
Where? Café Yaza, Montgomery Square, Nelson
Yaza opens for dining/drinks at 6.00pm.
Conversation 7.30-9.30pm.
Treat yourself and support our partners Yaza Cafe at the same time. Come early and try their new 'Spirited Conversations' menu!

'Write for Rights', Saturday 7 December from 2.00 to 4.30pm
'Write for Rights' is timed to celebrate Human Rights Day on 10 December. This is the world’s biggest human rights event, a moment when Amnesty International’s movement of ten million comes together as one to take action and stand up for freedom, justice and equality.
Collective action pressures authorities around the world to bring those responsible for human rights abuses to justice, and free people wrongfully imprisoned.
We'll be gathering as we do every year, to write letters and send messages of support to victims of human rights abuses around the world.
Venue: Friends Meeting House, 30 Nile St, Nelson.
Date: Saturday 7 December, from 2 to 4.30pm
Please bring a small contribution for a shared afternoon tea. Tea and coffee will be provided.
Please encourage others concerned about human rights issues to come - all welcome!
RSVP: to Karen du Fresne, Amnesty International Planning Committee Email: kdufresne8@gmail.com by Monday 2 December.
